Prof Wole Soyinka is a deep oasis of wisdom from which we all have to quench our thirst for more knowledge from.He such an adorable son of Africa and is always an honor to hear him speak his mind
Prof. Wole Soyinka is a sage and he is projecting a nimble mind characteristic of Divinity-Philosopher Oduduwa. Africans in Africa and Africans in Diaspora should learn a lot from his repertoire of sagacity.
Oh look, another insecure white person seeing an intelligent black person. Clearly you realize he's smarter than you, and you find it difficult to swallow. Its painfully obvious.
What a different country Nigeria, would be if they chose leaders like this. Sadly, in 60 years I’ve never heard of him to this moment. American media is too busy pumping its own agenda to enlighten us with the words of the wise.
I accidentally deleted my comment that Morgan Freeman would be perfectly cast to play this man in his biography. He sounds like him, has the same bearing and they have an uncanny resemblance.
I think he makes a good point regarding religion in Africa. people forget every day problem in the society by just visiting religious places and used by stupid leaders.
The Divided and Rule policy probably applied in Nigeria. Along ethnic lines and religion in African. we see in Ethiopia today. The guys very wise. He's very careful with his words. Probably knows the source
Nothing will come out of Nigeria, which is like putting German and British to have a country together, the result will be catastrophic nearly every day. Nigeria must divide for each tribe to have his own country. Nigeria will not work. Divide to progress. Whatever those who are beneficiaries saying about Nigeria to remain together is a danger.Nigeria must divide to progress before it's too late.
Peoples are writing things out of ignorance, I wanna say don't judge Islam base on what an individual Muslim does or what Muslims community does, you can judge islam based on authentic sources that is the glorious qur'an and the authentic hadiths.
Still nothing good about Quran & the Hadith you mentioned! Go back and study the books deeply, you'll come back to the realisation that you needed to leave that cult asap!
How does a secular government sponsor religious pilgrimages while others live in abject poverty? Nonsense! Btw, Fela was not a problem maker. He was a freedom fighter in every way as you're professor, just the methodology was different.
As prophet Muhammad (as) once said to one of his disciples before he took Islam with your intelligence how can u deprived yourself Islam what is Soyinka waiting for with your intelligence
By the time this interview was shot, I was a little boy. Well Mr wole Soyinka, boko haram has not done Nigeria any good. Now, Nigeria is more divided than what one can ever imagine. Nigeria is no longer recognized as a country to some Nigerians, in fact they call her zoo. All we are asking for is to divide Nigeria. The Northerners are wolfs and southerners are the lions. By what right does wolfs judge the lions?
First *indigenous West African. Saying "black" for African is like saying, "first yellow Asian nominated for blah blah blah" or "first dark skinned Indian etc etc" wtf?????
What I'm confused? You have heard of white South Africans and White North Africans right? He was the first black winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Changing this to West African is definitely not the same as first black winner. This is turning into a rant; I'll let you do your research.
Without any doubt, Wole Soyinka is the conscience of Africa. This man is adorable.

I adore this man. His wisdom and intellect is unmatchable! He experiences, activism, and artistry serve as teaching points for us all.
Such an eloquent, intelligent, speculative, and conversational individual.
The wise Elder! THOSE ARTIFACTS ARE FABULOUS!
WOLE SOYINKA Is certainly a MIRROR to have a feel of ANCIENT AFRICAN CONSCIENCE.
A living encyclopedia in front of us may you live long sir..
So much brilliance in this calm, gentle spirited man. It Is a pleasure to learn from him.
He said, am a little bit inflexible...
And many many more...
This gentleman is not getting old at all, in all ramification.
GOD Bless you Daddy...

Soyinka's mind is geared towards serving and betterment of humanity. This is one of the greatest assets Africa has brought forth.
This is a precious Mind of our Time.
Thank you for a much needed conversation. I hope we are paying close attention.

Wole's voice sounds like it was born in the darkest chasm of the Mariana trench.

Divide to progress. Whatever those who are beneficiaries saying about Nigeria to remain together is a danger.Nigeria must divide to progress before it's too late.
As well as agitating for independence during the west African student union (WASU)
He has a very clear understanding of so many issues. Also extraordinary to hear he is a cousin of Fela Kuti !

yeh its ol rubbish.
Still nothing good about Quran & the Hadith you mentioned! Go back and study the books deeply, you'll come back to the realisation that you needed to leave that cult asap!
Or they allow their religion to be hijacked by fools?

Very nice guy,,but liberal's can never understand craziness...
Oil is the root cause of all wars.
No hate and greed
Islam is not in danger? Wole Soyinka is in danger of becoming Don King.
Nigeria don't want to study their wickedness against Biafrans. Only a guilty conscience hides from the light of the truth.
As prophet Muhammad (as) once said to one of his disciples before he took Islam with your intelligence how can u deprived yourself Islam what is Soyinka waiting for with your intelligence
